In retrospect, I wish I'd stamped the sentiment in Memento Grape Jelly, like the roof, rather than black, but otherwise, I really like this little scene. The scalloped grass is a border stamp from PTI's Faux Ribbon set; I just curved it on the acrylic block. The bright yellow bow (made with my Bow-Easy: thanks Bahb!) is a fun stand-in for a sun, don't you think?
For the bling (have I mentioned lately how much I love bling?), I had to color some tiny clear rhinestones with my Bic Mark-It because all my green bling was too big. Those markers really are AWESOME.
Really. And I think Bic should pay me for saying that. But they don't.
Have you checked out all the OLW6 cards yet? I haven't because a dozen people posted their cards yesterday, and I was too busy keeping my family busy to comment. But I'll get to them this afternoon, because oh, my goodness gracious sakes alive! Y'all are a talented bunch of people! As for the prize drawings, I'll post the winners in a separate post in a little while. Remember, if you didn't post for OLW6, there's still time until tomorrow morning when I post OLW7, which I'd better get to work on because I really don't know what it is yet.
Thank you all for the warm fuzzies. You keep me going!
very cute card....
ReplyDeleteI would say that olw's are a big success!!
I love this card -- and I haven't used this set yet, either (oops!). Love the bright yellow ribbon!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful stamping, great card, I agree grape ink may have been slightly better but I still love it:-D
ReplyDeleteVery cute. I still struggle to get the roof aligned with the house. I'll cut mine out from now on. ;)
ReplyDeleteLove using the scallop stamp for grass...would not have thought of that myself. So cute.
ReplyDeleteSeeing that Bow Easy bow reminds me how complicated that little device makes my bow-making lately. It's a masculine-looking bow, since the center isn't pinched, which looks just right for grosgrain but not for silk, I think.
ReplyDeleteHouse card is VERY cute. When you said you maybe should have used Grape for the sentiment, I immediately thought, "Well, go ask Susan. She ALWAYS knows the right color for the sentiment." If you're our Guru, who is YOUR guru, I wanna know. :-) The black looks perfect to me.
Such a charming card, it made my day a little sunnier!
ReplyDeleteso cheery! love the scalloped grass and ribbony sun!
ReplyDeleteFantastic idea to use the scallop ribbon as grass! Love the bright colours. Never seen a bow-easy, might have to keep an eye out next time I am browsing the shops..
ReplyDeleteThis is so cute Susan!
ReplyDeleteSuch a cute card Susan! Love the yellow bow (sun!). :):)
ReplyDeleteReally? You love bling? :P I know what you mean about the sentiment, but I also like the way the strong black balances the strong yellow of the ribbon, kwim? All in all another winner card!
ReplyDeleteOne more reason to love your blog: "I just curved it on the acrylic block." Of course! And it made a perfect little hill.....genius!
ReplyDeleteI love your house on the hill and the yellow ribbon is perfect. I probably would have thought the sentiment was the same color as the roof!
ReplyDeleteHow fun! I really need to get more use of this set, too. :)
